I even ignore most of your posts now even when you quote or refer to me-- you've become uncharateristically insulting since the announcement of the Community Empowerment Act--you just don't like rent control. >>They do.

Just think David--you may at this very moment be cuddling a future tenant leader who reacts against Daddy's extremism. >> If you have clear question that hasn't already been addressed >>please present it in a concise and non-insulting manner and I'll >>address it if it's rational. > > In the bandwidth you spent explaining why you weren't answering Grant, >you could have answered his question, which is concise, rational, >and not more insulting than most reductos ad absurdum. He asked: > The message itself contained several insults as well as a question answered on numerous occassions. He again posted his question without insult in ne.general only and I answered it last night in ne.general only--it's there if you care to take a look at it although I suspect you've already read it. It's interesting though how some will complain about how much another writes yet feel they've a right to response to every comment and question they make concerning you. My use of 'bandwidth' in the above example was to explain that if he wanted a response it should be presented in a more adult like fashion (.i.e. without personal insult). You yourself used to be capable of that and hopefully the ability will return--you often have good points to make even though you're always dead wrong of course. Leave you guns at the door if you want to debate. Steve
